only now beginning
to find my place and poems
late-blooming rose
from the bush
planted long before
we came here

New Beginnings
warm memories
and new beginnings
a yellow bird
lights on the branches
with a few gold leaves
Trumpet Vines and Time
how the
trumpet vines
grew on the wall
of my mother’s home
glorious
like her faith
her unconditional love
when God said
“It’s time…”
Update: This poem was published
in Bell’s Letters 135, February 2011.

Queen Anne’s Lace
wearing my old
sweater
worn thin
Queen Anne’s Lace
along country roads
Spring Tanka
gardens growing
long before we came here
how deep the roots
must be and decades old
planted in God’s earth
